Is it possible to do liposuction with a microneedle on the malar bags from outside and remove the fat that way? I am male, 33, and always had the bags at the top of the cheekbone (they are not eyelid bags).

Answer: Malar bags
That depends on whether or not there is fat there amenable to liposuction. I have done it and it worked quite well. You can see the before and after photos that I uploaded to my realself profile.
I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Answer: Liposuction does not work for malar bags.
Malar bags (just that you know this name means you understand they are not the same as "bags under the eyes") are not treatable with liposuction. This is a skin/swelling problem separate from the skin/fat problems that usually lead to lower eyelid lifts/tucks. They seem to be more evident in smokers and those with low thyroid, but can occur in the absence of both. Treatments include lasers and direct excision.
